This drawing by Paulus Potter depicts a single pig standing in profile, its head lowered as if sniffing the ground. The artist's detailed and precise hatching technique creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the animal's texture and form. Potter's signature style of realism and attention to detail is evident in this work. It is possible that this drawing is a study for a larger composition, showcasing Potter's mastery of animal anatomy. A "pig to the right", the artwork is currently held in the Städel Museum.
